Faux -Prah's Favorite Things Giveaway

Every November I have a ritual to help set the tone for the holiday season. I sit and watch Oprah's Favorite Things show where I scream, shriek, and cry right along with the audience.  Then after the show is over,  I call one of my best friends and we dish and swoon over the best items on the show.  She can't stand the show, hates it, loathes it, but can't stay away from watching it.

Moi: O.M.G.  Did you see that fridge? I hadn't ever thought to have a fridge with a computer on it!
BFF:  I know... I swear I saw someone faint when she unveiled it.
Moi:  Garrett's Popcorn... I've never tried it, have you?  How have we lived and not eaten Garrett's Popcorn?
BFF:  Ugh, $8,000 for a tub of caramel corn... I swear I saw someone faint when they got their big old tin. Of course, their greedy paws were still clutching their popcorn as the collapsed right there on National Television.
Moi:  I'm not sure I can fathom buying $90 soaps, in the shape of a swan, but Oprah swears they keep her skin glowing.
BFF: I KNOW!  Some lady fainted after she took a whiff of the swan soap. I swear Oprah drugs the audience.
Moi:  I can't stand it, I need some Oprah Uggs and those fat cupcakes. 
BFF:  DON'T BUY THEM, You will come down with the fainting disease that the audience has.

Now that Oprah is off the air... what am I going to do to get into the holiday spirit?  I'll tell you what I'm going to do, it's time for me take over and build my own empire!  I've secretly always wanted to be Oprah and giveaway my favorite things.  Thanks to the World Wide Interwebs I can now be Faux-Prah.

Introducing the Bon Jour, Qwendykay And Quite Contrary Mary Faux-Prah's Favorite Things!  

(Please tell me you imagined that in your best Oprah voice)

All this month you can win our favorite things.  In case you don't know, Mary is my very favorite Faux Sister and we share the same brain.  We met years ago and found that we shared way too many freaky common interests, including a passion for the color blue, shoes, and an unnatural love of blogging. Here is the freakiest part, both our mothers have the same obscure name and the same quirky traits, which can only mean... we share the same mother, hence we are sisters. You follow?

Introducing three of my Favorite THINGS!

Mr. 7 Hands  

I swear, this is one of those revolutionary tools that will reside in your kitchen drawer, and you will wonder how you lived without it.  Mr. Man and I fight over this tool, because he likes it  in the garage, and I like it in the house.  It has 7 different screwdriver heads and is the perfect tool for house projects or changing the batteries in the kids most obnoxious toy.  This is my favorite gift to give to people, and while they aren't that enthused on opening it, they always come to me a few weeks later and say, "Mr. 7 Hands is GENIUS, Genuis I tell you."

Nexcare Bandaids

Bandaids?  I know... but unfortunately, I don't have Oprah's fat wallet.  Seriously, these are the world's best bandaids. They stick like nothing else, stay on forever, and help things heal up.   Poor Mr. Boy has Eczema and itches his legs until they bleed.  They are waterproof and create a "seal" around the cut.  LOVE them.

$25 Amazon Gift Card

Oh how I love Amazon.com.  My Prime membership has given me the freedom to become a serious homebody.  I haven't visited Costco in months, since I order most of the non-perishables from Amazon, and who doesn't love the smiley faced boxes.  I order everything under the sun from there.  Last week I ordered two "paint your own mugs" for the soccer coaches, Ballet Tights for AK, and a foam wreath for an upcoming project without having to leave my house. With $25, you'll get free shipping on your purchase... maybe you can buy my some of my other favorites, which may or may not be featured on my other giveaway. 

Such as GoGoSqueez applesauce, which has helped immensely in the lunchtime battle of eating healthy.  Or maybe you can buy another Mr. 7 Hands for your loved one.  The possibilities are endless.
